I don’t think there was ever a better 1 on 1 series at the same position. These 2 gave it everything when playing each other on both ends of the court with man to man defense
6:27 damn the skill, the determination and most importantly the elegance is in display, idc about stats but the eye test will always show that kobe was indeed only behind jordan, arguably 1a and 1b, lebron is great, already considered as the goat but this kind of artistry that kobe and jordan had is the only that thing that he lacks
Watching these highlights are crazy I remember this game, no one in this game is in the league anymore expect Udonis haslem and he’s the oldest player in the nba
Wade is one of the best defensive guards in nba history, and the way Kobe could just get an iso and score on him is just crazy. This wasn’t a one off thing either, Wade never had a good time trying to guard Kobe.
Wadr block and stops kibe many times, its just kobe would chuck shots all game long, he scored many times on d wade and he also brick shots many times, and kobe dont even want to guard wade the whole time, whil wade was monster on offense and defense, he will stop you then go back to monster offense, wade smoked both bryant and artest one of the best perimeter defenders that time
This Happens When I Was 16 Years Old In My High School Junior When Dwayne Wade & Kobe Bryant Are Battling It Out They Are The Shades Of The NBA Finals They Are Pretty Matched Up Don't Expect Them To Guard One Another All The Time That Is Unnecessary They Two Won Each Others Championship With Shaq Between 2000 & 2006.
Idk how anyone can continue to discredit Kobe. Man hit tough shot after tough shot on great defense. I mean every single shot was contested. And this is just one game
Kobe = greater Wade = better Kobe’s best years 03, 06, 07 Wade’s best years 10, 11, 09 Kobe’s average in those years = 32.2 Wade’s average in those years = 27.6
This game stands out because the year before whn they duled in Miami Wade got the best of Kob, scoring 35 & making all the clutch shots in the 4th. Kobe was coming in this game to kill 😈
Give me Wade any day. Why? Look at the highlights. Almost every highlight of Kobe was him scoring. Wade there was a block, a bunch of assists, and scoring. Wade was more of a team player. Not saying he was quite the scorer that Kobe was but he wasn't that far behind. I saw Kobe force stuff even when he was missing and Wade rarely did that.
@@KingDami1999 Wade was NEVER EVER on Kobe's level. Wade was such a fragile pssy, couldn't stay healthy for sht....while Kobe played injured all the fking time. Kobe =Jordan Wade = T Mac. 😂 😂 😂
It’s easy to just say Kobe is better than Wade but it just ain’t true. Just like it’s easy for people to say Lebron is better than Kobe. Wade is actually the greatest player we have ever witnessed. Injuries hampered his career but that doesn’t change the fact of how superior his game was. Lebron joining the Heat hurt his career when it came to being overshadowed by a bigger star but DWade is the true GOAT. Kobe’s best finals performance is DWades injured performance. The love for Kobe is only natural but DWade is the true greatest.
Facts...if he wouldn't have so many injuries throughout his career he would've been the goat. He would've also gotten mvp in 2011 finals if lebron would've show up and he still won them 2 games unlike kobe who got swept the round before by that same dallas team and in 06 he did too and what happened? D wade beat them. Till this day they say it was rigged but if you go watch he earn all those free throws because he could drive to the rim whenever he wanted and they had to foul him 🤷🏾
I remember Wade was untouchable in the paint his first few years, including the 06 title year. He was like harden in the late 2010s just run in the paint and automatically get free throws. Dude isn’t overrated for his career but a few years before this game he totally was.
Bruh just looking how D Wade contested those Kobe fadeaways, and Kobe still scored. Insane.
Unguardable.
I was in the building for that game , man what a game. Watching Kobe in person in like poetry and motion.
Same here man! Legendary game!
In motion. Just sayin
@@masterroshi1015 you are correct sir 💯✅
Wade is my favorite player ever. His duels with Kobe were always so legendary.
Rest In Peace Kobe Bryant you left this world with great memories
Two of the top 3 greatest of all time going 1-on-1 in the clutch. It doesn't get any better than that.
Kobe was so smooth and skilled. Rip
From 2004 to 2011, Wade was a frighteningly good player. my idol, 3rd best sg of all time.
All facts
1.MJ 2.KOBE 3.WADE 4.AI 5.HARDEN
@Sean Jones even as a big wade fan regardless if Kobe died or not, Wade still 3rd.
I'd throw in 2012 as well. He was ranked top 3 in DPOY voting and was still in his athletic prime
@@IamSSAINVINCIBLEx acceptable
I would just like to say D Wade is one of the most underappreciated stars of all time
Two best shooting guards of all time ⚡️x 🐍 these two gave me my favorite duels as a basketball fan.
There’s so many Wade VS Kobe games but you can never find this one THANK YOU GD
Gone are the days when the top players would match up against each other
Nowadays they re teaming up to dominate together
Kobe's shots are so beautiful...... Wow.
Everybody was talking about the Kobe vs Lebron rivalry yet We underappreciated the Kobe -Wade
I still can’t believe this young, vibrant, beautiful athlete is gone. Rest in peace Kobe. You made my childhood. 💜💛
Kobe was hitting tough shots on wade crazy
I don’t think there was ever a better 1 on 1 series at the same position. These 2 gave it everything when playing each other on both ends of the court with man to man defense
D Wade, you will always be my idol.
Flash and Mamba one nba finals we never got to see, good battles between these 2 players
Man THESE MATCHUPS are the one you don't see once in a lifetime these are LEGENDS, NO Comparison just APPRECIATE THE GREATNESS 🐍 × ⚡miss them.
Wade was doing this on two premier perimeter defenders in Kobe and Artest. This is the best era of basketball
I remembered watching that game like it was yesterday.
How time flies
6:27 damn the skill, the determination and most importantly the elegance is in display, idc about stats but the eye test will always show that kobe was indeed only behind jordan, arguably 1a and 1b, lebron is great, already considered as the goat but this kind of artistry that kobe and jordan had is the only that thing that he lacks
Legendary Match up 🔥🔥🔥
Watching these highlights are crazy I remember this game, no one in this game is in the league anymore expect Udonis haslem and he’s the oldest player in the nba
back when the Superstars want to beat each other!
Kobe is the GOAT 🐐
that Shot at 4:00 min Kobe made was crazy 🔥🔥🔥
Look at his face after. In a zone 😮
This was on my birthday
YESSIR WE MISSED YOU GD
miss this era
Wade is one of the best defensive guards in nba history, and the way Kobe could just get an iso and score on him is just crazy. This wasn’t a one off thing either, Wade never had a good time trying to guard Kobe.
Nah, Wade actually defended Kobe a lot better than most "defensive stoppers"
Yea kobe often gave Wade mad buckets
Wadr block and stops kibe many times, its just kobe would chuck shots all game long, he scored many times on d wade and he also brick shots many times, and kobe dont even want to guard wade the whole time, whil wade was monster on offense and defense, he will stop you then go back to monster offense, wade smoked both bryant and artest one of the best perimeter defenders that time

it’s like watching two gods going at it
Hey GD, do you have any highlights of Dwyane Wade vs Kobe Bryant on Christmas 2005? They actually got physical and shoved each other that game.
Idk how anyone can continue to discredit Kobe. Man hit tough shot after tough shot on great defense. I mean every single shot was contested. And this is just one game

@@ezekwu That’s what I thought kid. Now run along
@@DagestanderGustaffuson you right dwade better than kobrick
The way the crowd reacts to Kobe scoring you would swear this game was at Staples Center

Today's NBA no more fade away now....
Rip kobe bryant
Them boyz put on a show
The Flash Still Got The Win The Last Laugh
Wow anyone would think that Paul pierce or James harden is better than D wade is stupid. Dwade top SG ever
Great match 👍!
Best player in the world d wade

That was the last game Udanis played in 👀😆
I always felt that this was the game that made Wade called Lebron.
he aint call lebron at all. lebron called him
@@tjoglesby6014exactly. Bro tryna rewrite history
Switch kobe to wade team lets see if kobe was good as this
His shot-making ability had nothing to do with his teammates.
Wade's okay.... but he's no Kobe.
Wade is great
Wade's great... but he's no Kobe. There i fixed it for you.
